Wliile'these 10U pockets are not absolutely necessary, since the clips cannot accidentally become detached from this edge 3, nevertheless this stitching serves to hold the edge 3 to the garment so that it will not flare out and become wrinkled and thus cause discomfort.

All trimmings or collars have along their inner edges a band which consists of a small strip-like portion that is bent inwardly and in the drawings this band is represented by the numeral 8 and in attaching a collar or other trimming the free members of the clips 6 are spread outwardly in succession by the fingers and this band inserted, and theelip then allowed to spring to normal position, as shown particularly at Figures 5 and 2, and it will be readily understood that the proper position of the collar or other trimming may be brought about by merely pulling it through the clips.

For the purpose of laundering the outer member or" the clip is spread and the collar or trimming removed and the clip allowed to spring to normal position. y Y 1 lf the garment Aitself is to be laundered the clips are merely withdrawn from the strip 3, and in re-loeatingthese clips, should it be found that the thicknesses that constitute the pockets formed by the stitches 7 had stuck together no attention need be paid to these pockets since the clips can be merely positioned on the strip 3 at any suitable spa-ced locations'. v Y

rihe form of clip shown at 'Figures 6, 7, 8, 9 and l0 d iii'ers slightly from that heretofore described,and this modified form of clip is made from stainless steel and is composed of a back member 9 whose tace is cut out so as to form an opening 10, and a front member 11 integral with the back member but having a tongue-like formation with an ,inward bend l2, and this inwardly bent tongue normally extends within the opening 10, so that when this clip is'in position on i the edge 3 oi the garment, this tongue will normally press this edge within the opening 10, and when the band of the collar or trimming is positioned within this clip, this bent portion 12 will torce the band apprecia- 1 bly within said opening, as shown at Figure But the form of clip shown in Figures 2, 3, l and 5, is preferred, since itis much simpler and not quite so bulky and fully answers the purposes of the invention, and the clip shown at Figure 6 is illustrated and referred to merely to show that the exact form of clip isimmaterial so long as the members are normally in resilient contact, and therefore this invention is not limited in this respect.

These clips are not necessarily made of metal since they can also be made of other suitable material as, for instance, Celluloid.

What is claimed is Y The combination with garment attaching strips and the bands of collars, cus or trimmings, of resilient clips attached to the strips at spaced intervals for slidably receiving the bands therein, each clip consisting of two integral members normally in contact, one member having an opening therein, the other member being provided with a tongue" having a bent portion adapted vto normally extend within the opening in such a manner that when the clip vis in position on the edge of the garment, 'the tonguewillpress the edge Within the opening, and when the band of the collar or trilnming is positioned within the clip, the bent portion will force the :band Within the opening.
